A-1: The Country's Premiere Driving School

A-1 Driving is All About Road Safety

A-1 Driving Company, Inc. started operating on March 31, 1977, as A-1 Driving Academy. Armed with only two training vehicles, a 1977 Volkswagen and an owner-type Jeep, and loads of determination to succeed, we opened our first registration office at the Guadalupe Commercial Center.

Today, with more than 50 company-owned registration centers nationwide and over 170 modern training vehicles, A-1 Driving continues to serve the needs of the growing number of student drivers. Our experienced and well-trained trainers carry government accreditation as professional practical and classroom driving instructors and assessors.

On In April 1997, we inaugurated the country’s first driving training center at Naga Road, Las Piñas City. The primary aim is to provide student drivers with a complete training ground away from the traffic in the metropolis. 

Standard Students (Courses for Varying Levels of Driving Skill) We then opened our second and biggest training center at Novaliches, Quezon City in July 2008. In March 2024, A-1 Driving launched its seventh training center nationwide in Cebu City.

A-1 Driving Student Program offers premium Practical Driving Course (PDC) for light vehicles, Theoretical Driving Course (TDC), Motorcycle Riding Course (MRC), Car Maintenance 101, and Driver’s Education 101 for Senior High and College students.

We are also industry partners with several top local and international businesses. A-1 Driving’s Corporate Program trains company professional drivers through the Fleet Driver’s Training and Assessment Program.
